Rules of the lottery "Russian Lotto. How to play the lottery online

Is it possible to win the lottery and how to do it? What are the best lotteries to play? As life practice shows, winning the lottery is an event that can happen to anyone.

Good day, dear readers of HiterBober.ru business magazine. Alexander Berezhnov and Vitaly Tsyganok are with you.

Winning in some local lotteries and "intellectual casinos" ourselves, we summarized the topic of winning the lottery, talked with friends who regularly raise good money in this business and presented our vision of this issue.

You don't have to have a college degree, be the son of wealthy parents, or finish school with a gold medal to win. To win, you need only luck and faith in your own luck. It is faith that makes a person buy a lottery ticket.

Some lucky people need to buy a lottery ticket only once to win, others buy lotteries regularly (sometimes for several years in a row), until they finally receive a reward for patience and perseverance.

These questions are of interest to many - not only avid players and gamblers - read our article about working methods and profitable technologies for playing the lottery, as well as about the biggest wins in history.

1. Is it possible to win the lottery and what you need to know for this

Skeptics believe that only lottery organizers remain the winners, optimists believe that Sportloto, Gosloto and other popular lotteries are a real way to gain real financial well-being.

Let's say right away that, of course, it is possible to win the lottery, and each player has the chance of taking the jackpot. Probability theory and mathematics with basic statistics allow for the possibility of winning any lottery ticket at any time.

However, in game theory there is also such a thing as distance, and it is the distance that is the main obstacle on the way of ordinary players to the desired wealth. In other words, a fair amount of time can pass from the moment you expect a win to the moment you win. You can play the lottery for a day, a month, a year, ten years - and the probability of winning will always be about the same.

In the article we will try not to touch on the "mystical" aspect of the game, but it should still be mentioned.

There are players who believe in spells for good luck, in a series of victories, in lucky days and numbers, in rabbit feet and rituals. There are many films, books and TV shows devoted to examples of incredible luck. However, in reality, everything is more prosaic: when playing the lottery, we are dealing with the mathematical theory of the game and nothing more.

Of course, faith in one's own strengths and healthy optimism are conditions that work more as a plus than a minus. A person who believes in luck is more likely to be right than a hopeless pessimist.

Currently, online lotteries have become very popular, which almost do not differ from the usual "paper" and offline lotteries.

EuroMillions is a Friday lottery for players across Europe. Players from nine countries take part in the game, including Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the USA.

The prize consists of bets placed in each of these nine countries, and the top prize starts at 15 million euros. If the jackpot is not won within a week, the prize rolls over to the next week.

The biggest recorded win per person was 115 million euros and the biggest jackpot was 183 million euros. These huge jackpots have made the EuroMillions lottery one of the most successful and exciting lotteries in the world.

5. Examples of the Biggest Winners in Lottery History

There are a lot of examples of people who have received the biggest and biggest lottery winnings. If there are jackpots, then there are people who win them periodically.

Meet: the biggest winnings in the history of world and domestic lotteries.

Lucky lottery tickets bought regularly. Before winning, Albert worked as a security guard in a store.

The most successful "foreign" lottery players today are the Messners from New Jersey and Georgia truck driver Ed Neighbors.

It was these people who equally split the $390 million jackpot of the Mega Millions lottery in 2007.

In Europe, the biggest win is 185 million euros in the EuroMillions lottery: another married couple (Kristen and Colin) received the prize in 2011.

Another lucky winner is Evgeny Sidorov, who won 35 million rubles in 2009. Before winning, a native of Moscow was an avid lottery fan.

The man disposed of the money he received wisely - he organized a business in the village and bought a car.

6. Video from Channel One on how to win the lottery

So, anyone can win the lottery. The main question is whether an individual player will have enough patience and funds to regularly purchase tickets.

To significantly increase your chances of winning, play with a flat bet

An expanded bet is a bet that contains more than one combination of numbers in one playing field. For example: by choosing 6 numbers in Gosloto 5 out of 36, you get 6 minimum combinations in one playing field, and by choosing 7 numbers - all 21.
The cost of such a choice will be higher. What is the benefit? If you guess at least 2 numbers in such a bet, then you will win not 40 rubles, but 4 times more, 160 rubles. And if you guess 5 numbers at once, 20,000 rubles will be added to your super prize! So a spread bet doesn't just increase your chances of hitting the whole winning combination, it also increases the amount of any winnings you win.

How are the winnings calculated on the expanded bets?

The easiest way to consider the example of 2 guessed numbers.
Suppose you marked 6 numbers on the playing field: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. You can make 6 different combinations of 5 numbers from them. If two numbers coincide with your combination in the draw - for example, 2 and 3, then they will appear in 4 combinations at once, and for each of which you will receive a win.
1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4 6
1 2 3 5 6
1 2 4 5 6
1 3 4 5 6
2 3 4 5 6

Who won the most at the expanded bet?

The biggest win in Gosloto 6 out of 45 was due to the expanded bet! Albert Begrakyan, the lucky winner of the super prize, filled in 6 fields of 7 numbers on his ticket and won 100,118,974 rubles (of which 118,974 were due to the expanded bet).

What games can be played with expanded bets?

Games on the site of the lottery supermarket site in which you can play with a detailed bet:

Please note that in the Rapido game, additional numbers can only be selected in field No. 2.

An expanded bet, although it increases the value of the game coupon, but also significantly increases the chances of winning.

Has it ever happened to you: the soul is full of forebodings about the imminent win, but by some chance you missed the opportunity to play. For such situations, please take note of our tip #2.

To participate in each draw, use the "Multi-circulation" option

Multi-circulation - a bet on several circulations in advance.
This is a very popular game strategy for those who want to be in the game with minimal effort. Almost like a subscription to your favorite magazine. Once you made several numerical combinations, chose the number of runs for the game, paid - and you get the results. In each draw, the lottery drum gives out lucky numbers, each time new, and - it really happens - one day they may coincide with yours!

A case is known when a German family played for many years with a combination of numbers made up of dates of birth. Mom usually bought the tickets. But one day she was busy and asked her teenage son to go to the lottery kiosk. And he, like many at his age, took it lightly. And it turned out that it was in this edition that their very family combination fell out! And the ticket, as it turned out later, was bought and was not.

World history knows the fact (it happened in 2012 in England) that 12 people won 38 million pounds, which is equivalent to 1.7 billion rubles.

Never deposit your money for friends and do not take funds for your bet from them. Most often, such syndicates are "in the red." Don't force yourself into a syndicate. Do not take notorious skeptics and losers. The game must be fun!

The experience of playing together pays off!

Each ticket purchased for a distribution draw can win much more than usual.

Participation in distribution draws increases the chances of winning

A distribution draw is a drawing in which the accumulated sum of the super prize is divided among all the winners of the draw. The frequency of such draws is regulated by the Law "On Lotteries", which prescribes their holding at least once a year, if no one wins the super prize throughout the year. By decision of the organizer of the lottery, distribution draws may be held more often.
The distribution significantly increases each of the winnings, because a share of the accumulated super prize is added to the usual part of the prize pool, which falls on the winning bet. Many participants of Gosloto 6 out of 45 thanks to distribution draws. To do this, it was enough to guess not even 6, but 5 numbers - and in some cases even 4! And the games according to the formula "7 out of 49", which took place on September 27, 2013, 6 numbers turned out to be guessed in 3 lottery tickets - one winner won 5,098,339 rubles, and the other two, who played with expanded bets, received more than 10,000,000 rubles each! There is a millionaire and among those who guessed only 5 numbers. And in the 83rd distribution draw of the same game, an even more incredible story happened - one of the winners guessed 6 numbers at once in two lottery receipts! His total winnings amounted to more than 16 million rubles.

Follow the announcements on the site site and do not miss a single distribution circulation!

Draw results statistics is an interesting tool that will help you win more often

When you want to justify the choice of numbers with facts, and not with feelings, use circulation statistics. How to get it? Write down in a notebook (or save in a separate file) the winning combinations of each of the draws. Experienced lottery lovers keep track of the number of drops of each number in the draw, keep statistics on the number of even and odd, "hot" and "cold" numbers. In addition, there is an interesting statistics on the count of draws, in which balls fall out sequentially one after another or numbers that for some reason often fall out in pairs.

On the website, you can use automated statistics for each game on the pages of draw archives (for example, Gosloto 5 out of 36 statistics). But the most interesting thing about statistics you will find in the "Numbers" section of your personal account! There are the numbers that personally brought you more money, and the combination that brought the maximum win in the history of the game, and the opportunity to make a bet from the numbers that you liked in different sections of personal and general statistics.

A multiplier is an option with which you can increase the amount of winnings several times

The ability to use the multiplier exists in the daily games "" and "". The multiplier number is the number of identical bets that will be accepted per draw and the number of identical fixed wins that you will receive in case of the desired match. The value of the bet increases accordingly. For example, in "Keno-Sportloto" you can increase the amount of potential winnings by 10 times, and in "Top-3" - by 100 times.

In the history of the KENO-Sportloto game, the largest win was recorded - 550,000 rubles. The participant managed to win such an amount precisely with the use of a multiplier of 10 and a combination of 10 numbers - 9 numbers matched. And if he guessed all 10 numbers, he would win 10,000,000 rubles!

The maximum win in the "Top-3" without using a multiplier is 5,000 rubles. With a multiplier, it can be grown up to 500,000 rubles! And by combining a not very large multiplier with the same combinations in several receipts, you can win even more. This happened in the 1540th draw, where two participants made more than 10 bets with a multiplier of 10, each of which included a combination of 1, 5, 4. As a result, each of them !

So if you feel confident in your numbers - give them 10 or even 100 times more chances.

Every person at some point in his life asks himself the question: "Am I living well?" Lottery winnings can change anyone's life overnight.

So, the life of Gennady Tsyplukhin after winning 1,000,000 rubles in the 1183rd draw of "Russian Lotto" has changed dramatically. After checking his ticket on the site and learning about the win, the man realized that his everyday problems were finally over: he would complete the repairs that had been protracted in the house and begin to enjoy a measured country life.

Gennady was born and raised in the small village of Berezovka in the Lipetsk region. Now a man spends all his free time doing what he likes - growing vegetables, fruits and berries in the garden. The personal plot is the pride of Gennady.

- We have everything-pure, natural and hand grown. I find these products to be even tastier., - answers the winner.

But quite recently, Gennady had more questions about how to finish the renovation than answers. There was no answer to the question of where to get the money for everything. Gennady, like many who have ever started repairs, dreamed of its speedy completion. The situation was changed by just one lottery ticket, bought at a point of sale near the store, where Gennady is a frequent visitor. Thanks to the win, the man completed the previously begun arrangement in a short time. Now he welcomes guests with pleasure and boasts of new things in the house: a kitchen, a bathroom and a living room.

- And he worked without winning, but with the prize money he completed the repairs twice as fast. Everything inside is already finished, I bought a new kitchen, a gas stove, an oven. The bathroom and living room are also now nice to look at.- answers Gennady.

The man will now remember the moment of winning for a long time. He bought two tickets at once, one of which turned out to be worth a million dollars. The winner closely followed the broadcast of the draw on the Stoloto website. Recall that in the lottery "Russian Lotto" in the first rounds the largest winnings. They can amount to several tens and hundreds of thousands of rubles, and several million rubles. The luckiest ones can win the jackpot, which accumulates in the lottery from draw to draw. To get it, on the fifteenth move, 15 numbers out of 30 on the ticket must match the numbers of the extracted kegs.

After the draw, Gennady saw that the necessary numbers for a big win matched, and began to double-check the results on the Stoloto website. The man could not believe for a long time that he had become a millionaire. For another week, he digested this information and still decided to call the hotline at Stoloto, where they confirmed his win. Now the lucky man hopes that this is not the last million he won.

- We must live with hope. Check your options. I won a million and do not stop participating in lotteries. Every man can win- adds the winner.

There are many such happy stories in the Lipetsk region. Since 2016, 18 people have become lottery millionaires here. And this year, a large prize of 100,000 rubles was won by 33 participants in state lotteries. The largest win in the region remains the amount of 17 680 890 rubles. The participant of the 5347th draw of the Gosloto 5 out of 36 lottery was lucky to become its owner.

To be among the lucky ones, you just need to purchase a Stoloto lottery ticket and hope for good luck.

Stoloto lotteries give an opportunity for an ordinary person to fulfill what was previously only a fantasy. Anyone can one day hit the jackpot, and then what to do with so much money, everyone decides at their own discretion. One thing is certain: Stoloto lotteries give every person a chance to change their life if they win.

Most likely, many of you at least once in your life took part in the draw of some kind of lottery. We bought tickets, sat in trepidation at the TV, watching the balls falling out of the lottery drum or how the kegs were pulled out of the bag in the Russian Lotto game. Our mothers and fathers, of course, remember Sportloto tickets with various combinations. Surely, each of you watched the sensational film "Sportloto-82", where one girl won a super prize in just such a lottery. There are also many other lotteries, including those with an instant draw, where you do not have to wait for the day when the prizes are drawn, and you see the result immediately, only by erasing the protective layer from the ticket.

Which tickets to give preference to, and whether it is worth playing them at all - everyone decides for himself. Yes, of course, the probability of winning the jackpot is really very small, but who knows, what if you become the lucky one. In addition, in addition to the jackpot, there are about a dozen or two other large prizes in each draw, and hundreds of smaller prizes. As for the choice of a lottery, it is best to give preference to either state lotteries, such as sports lotto and gosloto, or well-known brands such as Russian Lotto or Golden Key.

In the old days, in order to play the lottery, you had to go to the nearest kiosk, buy a ticket, mark your "lucky" numbers on it and send a copy of the ticket for the draw.

Ticket selection by game type

Existing state lotteries can be roughly divided into three types according to the principle of playing the game.

Numerical lotteries based on simple combinatorics. This is all known to us "Sportloto 6 out of 36", "Gosloto 6 out of 45" and so on. The rules of the game here are quite simple, let's look at them using the example of "Sportloto 6 out of 36". In the playing field of the ticket, you need to mark six numbers in a random (or your own) order. During the draw, a special drum with 36 balls rotates. Of these thirty-six balls, six pieces fall out in a random order. Ideally, all six numbers marked on your ticket should match the six numbers of the balls drawn from the drum, in which case you will win the jackpot. However, there are additional prizes for matching 5, 4 or 3 out of six numbers.

Lotteries like "Russian Lotto" or "Bingo". In this type of lottery, you do not need to mark any numbers on the ticket. You are given a card with 30 predefined numbers. Numbers are drawn in sequence from a special bag or from a drum. As soon as certain combinations match with your ticket - consider you won. There are many rounds in this game, usually around 25-29. In the first round, tickets are won, where one of the lines in the ticket coincided with the numbers drawn. In the second round - if all the numbers in one of the ticket cards match the drawn numbers (there are 15 numbers in the card). And so on. In total, as already noted, there are at least 25 options to win and an even greater number of winning combinations. The lotteries "Russian Lotto", "Housing Lottery" and "Golden Horseshoe" work according to this type.

Instant lotteries– lotteries that are not held live, and the winning tickets are predetermined. In order to determine whether your ticket has won or not, as a rule, you need to erase a special protective layer. In such a lottery, everything is decided in advance and, unfortunately, you cannot control the fairness of the draw. After all, you don’t know if there is a ticket with a big win in principle, unlike previous types of lotteries, where the draws are held live and no one can know in advance which balls will fall out or which kegs the presenter will take out of the bag.

Which of these three types of lotteries you prefer is up to you. The vast majority of experts in this matter clearly do not recommend playing instant lotteries due to the uncontrollability of the result, which was just mentioned. If you like to create your own destiny and believe in a “light hand”, then your choice will most likely stop at lotteries like “Sportloto”, where you yourself choose the numbers you need. If you just believe in luck and you like the abundance of prizes in lotteries like Lotto, then you will probably buy Russian Lotto, Housing Lottery or Golden Horseshoe.

Selection of tickets based on the probability of winning

As you understand, the founder of the lottery will never lose. This is because smart people, based on the laws of mathematical probability, have calculated all the moves well. However, with all this, there are still winning tickets, including tickets with a jackpot. Let's look at the probability of winning a particular prize in various lotteries and decide which lotteries are more likely to win.

The table below provides a brief summary of the most popular lottery tickets, lists, if possible, all possible winnings and the mathematical probability of each of them, as well as the statistical probability based on circulation data from official sites. Statistical probability shows the ratio of winning tickets to the total number of tickets sold.

* - this lottery is new, statistics are still small, so the calculation of probabilities was not carried out.

** - there are at least 25 winning categories, it is quite difficult to calculate the exact probability, you can only rely on the statistical probability that you can see for various Russian Lotto draws on the Stoloto website. The exact number of winning rounds varies depending on the number of kegs left in the bag (this number varies from draw to draw).

As can be seen from the table, the highest probability of winning the jackpot in the lottery is 5 out of 36. But even in this case, this probability is quite small, so it is also recommended to pay attention to the Sportloto 6 out of 36 lottery, since every fourth ticket statistically wins in it ( see the last column in the table). And although in the last category, in which it is enough to guess only 2 balls out of six dropped out, the winnings are small, so at least you have a high probability of “returning yours” in order to be able to play in other draws. Although the statistical probability of not winning anything remains in the majority and is 75%.

Many experts recommend paying attention to lotteries like Russian Lotto and the like, since it is still unlikely to win the jackpot, and the number of prizes in such a lottery significantly exceeds that in other tickets, so the probability of taking it, although not the maximum , but a good enough payoff is higher than others. It is also recommended to pay attention to the holiday draws, they have fewer barrels (balls) in the bag, which means there are more winning tickets. In addition, in honor of the holidays, drawings of additional prizes are often held.

Naturally, to increase the chances of success, you can buy several tickets, but here everything should be reasonable: with a large number of tickets, you still risk losing more than you win, so there is not much point in buying more than two or four tickets.

Thus, as you can see, playing any state lottery online today is not only possible, but also much more convenient than buying a paper ticket. You can choose any tickets without leaving your home and without looking up from your favorite tablet or computer. The Stoloto service also has applications for mobile devices running Android or iPhone. With them, you can shop for tickets anywhere, anytime. May luck smile upon you!
